Students enrolled in the firefighter program at UAF will be issued a student firefighter badge, which will serve as their official UAF identification for on-campus use. The issuance of regular student PolarExpress cards will be discontinued for these students. If the student leaves the program, the firefighter badge must be returned to the immediate supervisor and a request for a regular student PolarExpress card submitted.

The student firefighter badge will function as a comprehensive UAF identification card, providing access to buildings, facilitating purchases, and performing all functions of a regular PolarExpress card.
